About this Item
In this one-page typed letter signed, Freeman provides publisher Henry Hart with citations for the three quotes from Greek and Roman classics he had made when they had last met. The names of the professors of these translations are: Charles Theophilus Murphy, Kevin Guinagh and Whitney Jennings. The quotes, we gather, are about a defense of the democratic idea, the clash between power and right, slavery and freedom, and Cicero s remarks on power, ethics, etc. Typed on 11 x 8 ½ ivory bond paper and dated June 28, 1947 and signed Joe . Joseph Freeman (1897-1965) was an American writer, journalist and founding editor of The New Masses (1926) and the Partisan Review (1934). He also wrote for The Nation, Fortune, and Life. At various points in his life he was a member of the Workers Party of America and the Communist Party, as well as, an employee of the American Civil Liberties Union. Henry Hart was an American writer (Dr. Barnes of Merion, 1963) and publisher who worked as Publicity Director for Scribner s Sons, Editor-in-chief of Putnam s Sons, an Associate Editor of Time and Fortune, the founding member and first editor of Films in Review and a founding member of Equinox Cooperative Press. He edited the American Writer s Congress (1935) and was responsible for the English-translation publications of Thomas Mann s works.
